Here’s the Long & Short of It…
Divorce and other family law issues are complicated and emotionally draining. Here are some resources and further reading to answer any lingering questions.
Too many family law attorneys tell clients what they want to hear, even if there’s little chance of success. That’s not us. We don’t water it down or waste time. We’re who you call when you want to ensure your children are ok, divide things properly, and resolve your divorce with as little trauma as possible.
We want you to be confident in your decisions about what’s best for you and your family. This guide illustrates our approach and what you can expect when working with O. Long Law.
We primarily represent family law clients in matters including divorce, child custody (now known as parenting time), child support, and spousal support (formerly known as alimony). We are particularly proud of our skill in complex divorces involving business interests or significant assets.
We practice in Cook, Lake, Will, Kane, and DuPage counties. This includes the suburban Chicago communities of Evanston, Northbrook, Deerfield, Glenview, Northfield, Glencoe, Highland Park, Kenilworth, Lake Bluff, Lake Forest, Wilmette, and Winnetka. We can prepare QDROs for any US jurisdiction.
If you meet the residency criteria, Illinois doesn’t have a waiting period for uncontested divorces. But, the time it takes to finalize a divorce varies based on factors such as: whether or not you have children, how many assets are involved, and the level of agreement on critical issues.
We always work to achieve the most time- and cost-efficient solution.
Illinois law has a method to “level the playing field” for spouses who do not have access to marital assets that could pay for an attorney. We can assist you in determining whether you can benefit.
